Spotify threw me a bone today. It recommended I listen to the American Opera song "Bright Lights & Amplifiers". Though not all of the song applies to me, there were a few lines that were very much applicable to me.
I walk a long and lonesome road
only things that I have ever known
Is this old beat up six string and a blue Ford van...
....I'm sorry mom, I had to leave...
...This love is my own.
I will dance and sing atop this globe...
...I promise you someday light will shine from this son...
...Mom and dad you gave me this head.
It taught me how to be a man
and when I have children they'll grow up by you and fill them with God's grace...
The song is a little more focused on staying away from home, but there were those nuggets of gold throughout that I loved. I miss the blue van that I left home with after high school. It was a trusty vehicle. I also miss my family, but know that I have to keep moving on and working on my own life.
